Napoli received a double whammy of bad news today, as Chelsea agreed the sale of Marc Guiu to RB Leipzig, while Noa Lang is off the Galatasaray table, so hope rests with Atalanta. The Partenopei are under transfer restrictions this summer to keep the books in check, so need to sell any player before they can bring in new signings. Napoli need Lang sale and replacement deal Among those on the way out is Lang, who flopped badly following his €25m move from PSV Eindhoven last summer. He clashed with coach Antonio Conte and was loaned out to Galatasaray, but failed to make much of an impact there either. There had been suggestions he could return to Galatasaray, though that seems out of the question now the club has invested €43-45m in buying Rafael Leao from Milan. Napoli’s best hope of getting rid of Lang now is Atalanta, because he is their Plan B in case Bologna do not release Jonathan Rowe. Meanwhile, another Partenopei target is lost, because Fabrizio Romano reports that Chelsea have agreed the sale of Guiu to RB Leipzig. It had been unlikely anyway, as Napoli were only prepared to pick up Guiu on loan, something that the Premier League side resisted.
